BEST GIRLS WEEKEND EVER!

 Let the craziness begin!!
In the middle of October we finally got to have our Sister's weekend. This year it was in DC at Kristin's at it was quite the challenge getting us all there flying standby with Dad's buddy passes.  BUT we all made it and by late Thursday night (around midnight to be exact) we were all finally together!! The above pic was taken for Kelli... she was the last one to fly in and we were all waiting for her. Let the fun begin!

We kicked off the weekend with a morning 3 mile jog through the beautiful trails by Kristin's house. The weather was perfect! And the scenery was gorgeous! Neal welcomed us at home with donuts and large diet cokes. Haha! Breakfast of champions! So much for the run...
After we got all prettied up we headed out for some major outlet mall shopping, lots of diet coke, yummy food and lots of laughs!!


Ugly shoe shopping.  

That evening we headed to Old town Alexandria for dinner and some window shopping. The streets were lined with cute shops and quaint little restaraunts. I LOVED this part of town!  



 We got our hot chocolates and headed down to the river where Val told us about her engagement story with Tyson that took place here :)

 Checked in to the hotel and soaking our exhausted-tired-from-shopping legs and feet! YES!


On Saturday we took the metro to Eastern Market where we had breakfast at this super cute cafe and then did a little market shopping.



 
 

Snack Time!!
 

We had to make a stop and do some sightseeing of DC!!
The Washington Monument and the Capitol. Check.  

 


 I got photo bombed by Kat's finger...nice.



 And more shopping...at a very large fancy mall with giant mirrors in the bathroom.
An afternoon snack to get us through our last round of shopping! YES please!

We ended the fun weekend with a big yummy dinner at Jackson's. Neal and Sam met up with us. It was so great to enjoy a nice yummy dinner all together!!
 
I miss my sisters already! The weekend was so fun and I am so grateful for my sisters and the time we got to spend together! It is never long enough! Looking foward to our next sisters WEEK! No more of this weekend stuff...I need more time with these amazing fun crazy girls!!! Love you girls all so much!!! And thanks to my awesome hubby for holding down the fort while I was away!

Oh this is making me miss my sisters already! I am just about to FINALLY post about this. I just realized I posted about Halloween before this post, what a MISTAKE! (Just because I haven't put all the sisters pictures on my computer yet). Next year we MUST do a WEEK for sure!
